FormulaClump-resistant

COVERGIRL Clump Crusher is a volumizing mascara designed to deliver bold, separated lashes with a double-sided brush — one side for coating, the other for combing out clumps. The formula is buildable and offers washable wear, lasting 12+ hours without flaking on most skin types. The wand features flexible bristles that grip each lash evenly, reducing clumping on application.

Best for: Drugstore shoppers seeking dramatic volume without the prestige price tag; those with normal to dry lashes. Works well for fuller lashes but may require careful application on oily lids to avoid midday smudging.
